When the word intimacy comes up, most people automatically think of a physical or sexual relationship. However, when we look at what the word intimacy means, we can see that multiple types of relationships fall into that category.

It is possible the other person doesn't value this friendship in the same manner that you value the friendship.And that is perfectly okay. There is nothing wrong with the other person not having the same level of dedication to the relationship as you.
